Teen who bakes and artist who paints cakes team up for a good cause Sarah Kokas, who bakes cakes to support the homeless, inspired artist Rick McKnight to create an art gallery as the cherry on top of her cause.

Sarah and Rick were featured on 6ABC today for their creative and charitable collaboration, which so far has raised more than $5,000 to support Family Promise of the Main Line.
Their Art ร  la Carte exhibit is on display in our Fireside Gallery through this Sunday only!

Can I Go to Church When I Donโ€™t Believe? The magazineโ€™s Ethicist columnist on separating belief from an appreciation of the arts and rituals produced by a religious organization.

"Of course, you could always visit churches, like those of the Unitarian Universalists, that explicitly reject creeds and that expect some members of the congregation to be atheists. They have hymns, too."

A graphic with a serene sky and landscape background. The top portion features a turquoise sky fading into soft clouds. Below, the landscape transitions into a warm, glowing horizon with golden tones resembling a sunrise or sunset. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) logoโ€”a white flame encircled by a red backgroundโ€”appears prominently at the top. Centered on the graphic is a quote in black text:

"Our gift of a never-ending search for truth and meaning means that we are always looking for ways to attend to that [still, small] voiceโ€ฆ and then act in accordance with it to create Beloved Community."

Below the quote, the attribution reads:
"- Natalie Briscoe, Lead, Southern UUA Region"

At the bottom of the graphic, "http://UUA.ORG " is displayed in bold white text.

Natalie Briscoe reflects on the "still small voice" that guides us toward love, justice, and interdependence. Cultivating this voice requires practice, intention, and community. Read more: bit.ly/4hsadQM ๐ŸŽต Hear "Voice Still and Small": bit.ly/40wwA0S #UU #BelovedCommunity #Hymns

The holiday season is a time to reflect on how our celebrations align with our values. Each choiceโ€”songs, stories, gatheringsโ€”brings an opportunity to weave UU values into our holidays. ๐ŸŒŸโœจ How do UU values shape your holiday traditions? ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ #UUValues #HolidayTraditions #UnitarianUniversalism

๐ŸŒน Child dedications, such as the one from this past week's service, are a highlight of the church year. The thorns of the roses are removed to symbolize the congregation's pledge to protect the children and support them as they grow.

Opinion | Donโ€™t doomscroll about Trump. Do these five things instead. Elections are important, but theyโ€™re not the only way to advance progressive policies.

May the gracious spirit of our humanity reach out to those who are particularly vulnerable now remembering that they especially they but many others are most at risk and most in need of love.

May we find the strength as a society and as a people to welcome the free exploration of identity and expression.

A prayer for #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance

May we come in this time to cease to shame children because of who they are.

May we remember those who have been harmed and murdered because of who they are.
